Its not for the Police to ban him', its the responsibility of the court. Institutionalised corruption. He should be correctly dealt with and then sacked - this was not a minor transgress having sipped a mouthful too much. This was clearly somebody grossly unfit to drive. The magistrates who came up with this moronic decision should explain why they felt someone 4 times over the limit should be allowed to continue driving. They too should be sacked.

Clearly you're missing nothing and the lack of any (usually automatic) ban or points does raise questions

Drink/drug driving is a scourge and anyone convicted should be banned on a ratio according to the levels they were at when at the wheel

The seriousness of being four times over the legal limit at the wheel is surely why the prison sentence (suspended or not) was handed out, so simple logic says a driving ban should surely have been involved, too?

It looks like the officers involved in apprehending him have 'done their job' (there was a time they might have driven him home to 'sleep it off') and the penalty awarded is down to the Courts and not them

The fact he now has a conviction and a suspended prison sentence means that he will likely lose his job when the disciplinary hearing convenes, which will then have a knock on effect on his pension and future employment opportunities

Thankfully, no on else had to be a victim of his actions on that day/night

Probably end up with a desk job within force on a final warning! And guess cannot be banned now as already been punished by magistrate? Just cannot see why wasn't banned anyone over limit usually is banned unless there is extreme extenuating circumstances Its the magistrate who needs to be held to account

Typical wol, the whole reason i started the thread was that it said he had no points added to his licence and no ban, they have now altered the report they put online this morning 3 year ban, and i take it that he has the appropriate points added
